Q

Most popular material for ribbon

A

Satin

34
Q

What is floral tape made out of

A

wax coated paper

35
Q

Absorption

A

Method of dying flowers
Can be sped up by using warm water (100-110 degrees F) and by cutting the stems under water

36
Q

39
Q

Xylem Vessels

A

Tiny tubes through which water moves up stems to flowers and leaves

40
Q

Transpiration

A

Water loss in the form of vapor from flowers and leaves

41
Q

Respiartion

A

The utilization of sugars from photosynthesis to provide energy for flowering opening and plant growth

42
Q

Ethylene

A

Odorless gas produced by aging flowers and other plant parts that cause the deterioration of some flowers. Other sources of ethylene include ripening fruit, cigarette smoke, and auto emissions

43
Q

Chilling Injury

A

Cold temperatures that cause darkening of flower parts

44
Q

Freeze Injury

A

Cold temperatures that destroy cells in flowers causing them to collapse

45
Q

Plant Processes to Maximize

A

Water absorption which is accomplished using warm water (100-110 degrees F) and cutting the stems under water

46
Q

Plant processes to Minimize

A

Transpiration, respiration, ethylene formation
These plant processes can be minimized by using cold temperatures. High humidities will also reduce transpiration.

47
Q

What causes blockage of water uptake through the xylem vessels

A

Bacteria and other microbes growing in the cut ends of the stems

48
Q

True or false- Cold water is better for flowers

A

False-warm water (100-110) moves up through flower stems faster than cold water

49
Q

Plant processes that need to be slowed in order to extend vase life

A

Transpiration, Respiration, and Ethylene Formation

50
Q

Slow Transpiration

A

By refrigeration and high humidity

51
Q

Slow Respiration

A

slowed by refrigeration

52
Q

Ethylene formation

A

slowed by refrigeration

53
Q

What temperature should Gladiolus and topicals not be stored below to prevent a chilling injury?

A

40 degrees F

54
Q

How to maximize water uptake?

A

Use warm water and cut the stems under water

55
Q

Floral preservatives contain

A

Sugar, a bactericide, and an acidifier

56
Q

True or False? We want floral preservatives to be basic or alkaline.

A

False- we want floral preservatives to be acidic
